Register Reader Opinion: Even a weak nod too much

Even a weak nod too much
November 1, 2006

The Register's weak nod for Ako Abdul-Samad for House District 66 Oct. 27 made no sense to me ("Abdul-Samad Gets Weak Nod"). You are critical of the other candidates for getting into the race late because of Abdul-Samad's perceived problems, as if that is unfair. Does that mean that after a certain time has passed, a candidate has a free pass? I don't think so.

I would have thought that just based on all the questions surrounding various state and local agencies' use of funds, Abdul-Samad, who is deeply involved with them, and who has had questions raised about his oversight ability, does not deserve an endorsement of any kind.
